It could be as simple as a damaged sound file... not at all uncommon with Win98/Win98SE. Sound files are very small and can become corrupted very easily - doesn't take much... just shutting down Windows improperly can damage these sensitive file systems. Try this and tell me if it works: Go to your Control Panel and double-click on Sounds. Look for the box Exit Windows and either turn off the sound or pick another sound. Wouldn't it be nice if all Windows problems were this simple?
